RESOLUTION 2008- 139 3. When the design of the project has reached 30%, an open house/workshop should be held where affected landowners would be notified and invited to attend. Focus should be concentrated on landowners that are willing to sell their property (large or small parcels) at this early stage and if possible, should be accommodated with lease back agreements or similar arrangements. A map or critical path chart should be developed to show needed parcels, identify the owners and progress made during acquisition. 4. Once a segment of a project has reached 60% design completion, the design engineering firm shall provide parcel sketches and legal descriptions of right- of-way parcels needed for the improvement project. The following outline would be used: • Affected land owners would be contacted within 30 days of receipt of 60% plans or within 30 days of receipt of a sketch and legal description of the property necessary to be acquired and provided notice of their statutory rights pursuant to section 73.015, Florida Statutes. • After notice to owner, negotiations will remain open for 120 days after the notification to complete a voluntary purchase unless extended by both parties or terminated by either party, in writing. A written offer shall be made to the landowner during this time. • Within 30 days following termination of negotiations, the file would be assigned to one of the eminent domain firms on contract for drafting a resolution of necessity for approval by the Board of County Commissioners. • At the same time and also within 30 days, an appraisal would be ordered for the affected property in order to comply with statutory requirement, and the consulting engineer would be directed to provide a SCALE report. • Following the completion of the appraisal and SCALE report, an unconditional good faith offer would be made to the property owners and a resolution of necessity would be brought before the Board for approval pursuant to the Notice to Owner and Chapters 73 and 74, Florida Statutes. • If the offer supported by the appraisal is not accepted within 30 days, suit would be filed for a quick take pursuant to Chapter 73 or 74, Florida Statutes. 5. All subdivisions are required to donate the minimum local road right-of-way. • The County would offer to purchase ultimate right-of-way on collector roads and thoroughfares. 2
